Wohl der bekannteste Bildbetrachter unter Windows hat wieder eine neue Version. Im changelog ist einiges neues zu finden.Der Bildbetrachter zeigt so um die 60 Formate an, was im Moment wohl das beste ist was man so bekommen kann. Im Prinzip sollte das Tool auf jeden Fall ein Platz in der “must have” Liste eines jeden Windows Benutzers sein. Wer noch nicht genug vom Funktionsumfang, darf auch über das Pluginsystem die gewünschte Funktionalität erweitern.
